"Soils that are repeatedly wetted and dried and that contain clays with a large capacity
for expansion tend to crack widely and deeply, allowing topsoil particles and organic materials to
fall into lower soil layers, so that over time the whole soil is turned over [...]. This process
is called peloturbation". See also fig. 1.15!
